'•I he Sunday School started the day
last Sunday with about the largest
attendenoe of the year- The teachers
are pleased to see so much interest
shown by the children and are asking
the parents to see to it that that child
dLren come on time
Rev- Bryant preached at both mom
in# and evening servces. In the
morning he took his text from the
twelfth chapter of Heb- “Heros inMor
dan Faith" Some of the central
thoughts were as follows:
There is a crown of life for those
who trust God. and put great faith
in him- Faith that will not stand in
the battles of life is of little value,
but the one who has the faith to i-un
the race to the end is the one that gets
the reward.
At the everrsr.g service Rev. Bryant
preached the first Cor- and the twenty
ae-cond to the 24th verse.
The morning services were well at
tended regardless of the hot weather,
and the collection was very good
There were many visitors present,
namely; Mrs- C. A- Chandler, Musk
ogee Okla: Mr. Kenneth McVey,
Boulder, Colo-; Mr- A. Esdale. New

—
A mure correct topic for today s lea
son would he The Judgment of the
Nations. According to the legitimate
textual and contextual signification It
Ik the Judgment of the living natlona,
'• bich still lie* In the future. The
ideH of a general Judgment is a funda
mental error. Doctor Pentecost well
says. "It Is a mischievous habit that
has led the Christian world to speak
of the Judgment as being one great
pvent taking place at the end of the
world when all human beings, saints
and sinners. Jews and Gentiles, the
living and the dead, shall stand up
before the great white throne and
there he judged. Nothing can be more
wide of the Scriptures.”
The Hibie speaks of several Judg- j
menu, differing in respect to the sub
jects to be judged, the place of Judg
ment. the time and result of the Judg
ment. The Judgment which we are
considering today Is not that one set j
forth lu Revelation 20:11-14. It pre- !
cedes that one by ut least 1,000year*, j
A definite analysis of this le*sou will j
show how entirely distinct this Judg
mem i* from the final Judgment.
I. The Judg* (v. 31).
lie is the Son of man, the one who
came and died to redeem the human
lace. At this time he is seen clothed
with majesty and power sitting upon i
his rhroue acting as judge. There is
no Judgment, so far as sin Is con
cerned. for those who now accept)
Jesus Christ as their Saviour (John
5:24).
II. The Time of Judgment (v. 31).
This Judgment will take place wher.
the Lord comes In his glory accom-t
) aided by a retinue of glorious an-'
gels, and after he has gathered th> f
elect remnant of Israel. There wil j
be no resurrection In connection with*
this Judgment.
III. The Place of Judgment (v. 31).
The prophecies of Joel (2:1-17) and
Zechariah (14:1-5) show that it will
be In or near Jerusalem. The angel
said to Mary, “Thou stia.lt call his
name Jesus. He shall be great and
shall be called the Son of the High
est, and the Lord God shall give unto
him the throne of his father David.
And he shall reign over the house of
Jacob forever; and of his kingdom
there shall be no end” (Luke 1:31
33). As David was a literal king and
reigned at a literal place, there shall
be at that time a literal judge occupy
ing a literal place of Judgment.
IV. The People Judged (vv. 32-45).
It Is expressly declared "before him
shall be gathered all nations." They
will be the nations left upon the earth
after the church has been translated
1(1 Thess. 4:16, 17). These are the na
tlons to whom the gospel of the king
dom shall be preached Just prior te
the coming of the end of this age.
“And this gospel of the kingdom shah
be preached in all the world for a wit
ness unto all nations; and then shall
the end come” (Matt. 24:14). Thla gos
pel is distinct fron the grace of God
which ia bow being preached. The
preachers of this gospel will be the
Jews (Her. 7 and Rom. 11). They will
move among the nations of the earth
Iwlth the startling news of the Lord's
'approaching kingdom.
V. The laeue of the Judgment (w
32-46).
Seme of the nations will gladly re
ceive the message of ths kingdom and
moat kindly receive ths King's messen
ger*. Others will persecute them
thrusting them Into prison. Her*
thoae who receive the message will
visit ths messengers of th* King and
provide for their wants. At this
time the judge will separate the
nations, placing the sheep on th*
right hand and th* goats on the left
The Aeep are those who give proper
treatment to Christ’s brethren, the
masaengen of th* gospel of ths
kingdom. Th# goats are thorn who I
reject the message and maltreat
the messengers. If these throe
classes, ths sheep, the goats, and ths
brethren ho kept separata la ear
Hunting *U coatasloa will he avoided.

what you can get out of it- As you
read it. think deeply and see and feel
just how faith within yourself begins
to go through you.
Have Faith in the Lord- He’s car
ing for you,
Have Faith in your master, in all that
you do;
Ready He stands to cheer and to bless,
In every hardship, in all distress,
In your Master, have faith, that
conquers all fear;
Have Faith in your Master, and know
He is near
Life’s tempests may blow against hu
man will,
But God has power to say, “Peace be
still!”
Winds and the waves obey His com
mand.
Lepers are healed by the touch of his
Hand;
Mountains are moved, and cast into
the sen
Prisoners in bond and chains are set
free
Have faith in the Lord: yon will never
go wrong
Have Faith in the Lord: be steady
and strong.
He’s willing to help and ready to
cheer,
Has power to make every care dis
appear
Only have faith, and it all will be done,
And your prayers, He will nswer, one
by one,
Have faith, in the Lord, on the path
way of life,
Have Faith in each hour of trial anc
of strife;
Surely He knows what yon need for
the task,
He’s ready to give you, before you
should ask,
Have Faith in the Lord, in all that
you do
Have Faith in the Lord, He’s earing
for you.
Friends, ths poem covers all, I can
possibly say only to warn you of a few
odds and ends in your everyday life
Sometimes we have friends, that we
have the utmost faith in- No one
could tell us anything, about he or she,
that would make us lose faith in them.
But when they decieve us, oh, how it
hurts and most times causes us to
hed a ter. But do you know, if you
will only keep faith and not allow your
self to stray to the ways of the devil
and treat that friend just the sme as
if nothing had happened, they will feel
ashamed and nine out of ten chances
will come and ask forgiveness and
after this may make you the beet pal
you ever had
Faith is the food of the soul, and
without it, we would waste away, as
the flower without water, wither and
die. But when two true friends, re
member I said “True Friends”, meet
and form an everlasting faith, in each
other it takes death to separate them,
and I have known some that would not
let even death take them apart..
May I recall to your minds, just here
the “Book of Ruth ” Where Naomi
said unto her daughtrs “Turn again
my daughters,” but Ruth with more
fanth than Orpha said. “Entreat me
not to leave thee. I will go and where
thou lodge, I will lodge. Thou people
shall be my people- Thou God, my
God-” and even said “Where thou diest,
I will die ” Does this cover my state
ment of a moment ago- Friend this
is real faith, because, only a few of
us wish to die for another.
Now if we only try to be as Ruth
to her mother in law- Be a friend to
a real friend that your friend could
have that kind of fath in you, how
peaceful things would be here on earth
and how little the devil would have
to do among us.
So friends, you see, if we first put
a lots of faith in ourselves, and then
as much in our friends, it would not
be long before you would read no more
of people fighting each other, courts
would cease to settle disputes and
God alone, would be the sole judge
of man- The “Peace on Earth, Good
Will to Men” would be the flag of the
nation,
I will close with this little poem and
may it help someone, if not all of you,
as we begin another day.
Have Faith in me, I will have Faith
in you.
Pot the two Faiths together, It will
carry us through,”

PARABLES AND PROBERBS
By A. B. Mann
(“All’s well That Ends Well”)
(For The Literary Service Bureau)
This is a Shakespearan proverb;
J it contains more truth than many
; round in the writings of uua
j famous philosopher
j 1 he axiom is scientific and not
fatalistic as might be presumed. It
is predicted on the law of effect and
cause- It connotes that success comes
oot by lot or cnance, nor by blind fate,
but by effort, by wise planing and
diligent application
The adage is a slap at the narrow
cmtic who condemns and activities
which he cannot understand. It tell*
that we are not judged by appearance;
by what seems right or wrong, wise
or unwise- The final lesson is
u-umauj results manifest the wisdom
or folly of any given line of action
and ending well will vindicate the

Looking Back.

(“Useful or Orameutal)
(For The Literary Service Bureau
j Today, young.maroed women soon
| think it creditable to say “I do't
know." ‘I can't do that," “I never
learned fLa*;” -That’s not in my
line,” and otherwise to boast of lack
of knowledge. Many of them lack
knowledge of the simplest things.
I know a young woman who calls
to her husband, “Tommy, come move
this. “Tdmmy, how do you do this?"
thus young woman flatly said- “I
don’t know how to mend; cake it to
the tailor, “Weil, I am not your
mother.”
Most young husbands are poor and
unable to “pay foj. every little
thing.” As children come, (if they
do), family expenses inqreaae »T>r|
economy becomes more necessary.
Then, every young womad needs to
know how to do so as to be able to
make a living if she should lose her
husband. Better “leam to be useful
as well as ornamental,” as the old
adage goes.
Lola Stewart’s Column.
African Lakes.
“Africa has a magnificent equato
I rial systems, second only to great
| Lakes of North America- Unlike the
; latter, the African lakes have no
deep-water connection with the sea,
and hence their commercial value is
greatly lessoned- Lake Victoria, the
second largest fresh water lake in the
world, Tanganyika, the longest lake
in the world, and Lake Nyaua, which
reaches a depth of 2,600 feet are the
largest lakes in the system. Others
in the group are lakes Rudolf, Al
bert anr Albert Edward- Lake Chad
south of the Sahara, like the Cas
pian Sea, has no outlet- During the
rainy season its area is about 20,000
square miles, but it is shallow, and
during the dry season it shrinks to
half that size.”
MAXIE MILLER WRITES:
(For The Literary Service Bureau)
UNREASONABLE HUSBAND
WANTS WIFE TO WORK AT HOME
AND OUTSIDE TOO — THAT
WOULD GIVE HER THE HEAVY
END OF THE STICK—YOU’RE
RIGHT MARIE MACK — “STICK
TO YOUR BUSH”
(For advice, write to Maxie Miller,

personal reply, send self addressed,

Maxie Miller 4 am a young mar
ried woman- My husband makes en
ough for our living. I stay at home
and keep the house clean and do all
the washing and ironing and make
everything pleasant for him- I get
up at 5:30 to cook his breakfast, and
his dinner is always ready when he
comes in the evening. But this hus
band of mane contends that I should
do some work outside, like other wo
men, to help us get a start I say he
works away from home and I work at
home, and though we have no blue
eagle “we do our part” What do you
think of this situation? Please ad
vise me—Marie Mack
Marie Mack: Your husband's con
tention is just all wrong Most men
are that way. If you do the work at
home anr then match his work away
from home, you’d have the heavy end
of the stick. Tell him bo pay you
what he’d have to pay any other wo
man for the work you do, and you’ll
supply all of your needs- If a woman
chooses to do some outside work it
i all right but no husband has the
right to demand such
